New York[ send
me this paper ]This 10 page paper discusses the treatment programs

Does Elevated Job Stress Affect Smoking
Levels?[ send
me this paper ]An 70 page expanded version of a much smaller paper
researching the hypothesis that smokers in high-stress jobs tend to smoke
more in response to stress than do smokers in jobs with lower stress
levels. Though there was no existing research with which to guide the
study, it still obtains solid and statistically valid results that
unquestioningly prove that a smoker's response to a high-stress job is
that of smoking more than usual. Existing literature emphasizes the
relationship between stress and depression, and also that between smoking
and depression. Biochemical and psychological research has concluded that
there is a strong relationship between smoking and clinical depression,
though it is unclear which contributes to the other. This survey does not
specifically address depression, but it does give valuable insight to the
relationship of stress-related smoking and workplace stress. Includes 4
charts and 4 tables. Bibliography lists 72 sources.Filename:

a role. The paper begins with an explanation of neurotransmitters and
specifically the functions of the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin
and dopamine and how they may be involved in depression and schizophrenia.
The writer than discusses the theory of eliminative materialism and its
relationship to mental illness. Bibliography lists 9 sources. Filename: PGscderv.wps
